http://experienceofhistory.blogspot.com/2010/05/reflections-from-high-ground.html

Cleghorn Battlefield Study Tour 2010. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Reflections from the High Ground. Time marches quickly when you are on this kind of adventure. After recovering from our collectively heinous day of travel, students and professors alike all piled into the vans of our tiny convoy, and clad in the colors of the Canadian 1st, 2nd and 3rd divisions we headed out towards the first leg of our journey. Third Division who was manning the line would suffer heavy casualties and lost two of their comma...

From the Sea

http://experienceofhistory.blogspot.com/2010/05/from-sea.html

Cleghorn Battlefield Study Tour 2010. Saturday, May 29, 2010. My first thought as I bound towards the rocky shore of France was, this will always be beautiful. Finally stopping, I stretched and lurched out of our seats to a warm spring evening, the wind bringing a slight chill and freshness from somewhere just beyond our sight. As I looked below, a single brave family ran into the waves. Perhaps they were used to facing the cold salty horizon head on. My second thought was, did they think that too?

Cleghorn Battlefield Study Tour 2010. Sunday, May 23, 2010. After a long night of transit we are finally on the ground in France. Few of us were able to sleep, due to a mixture of excitement and general airplaine uncomfortableness, but we are all here and eager to begin. All said and done, it was worth 7.50 eutro just to say I have seen the canals of Amsterdam, and stumbled through the red light district accidentally at 9am. Moreover it made me think of the difficult conditions Canadians faces when fight...

History Is Yours: My Cleghorn Experience. History is yours. It is not owned or written by someone else for you to learn.". 28 May: Rolling hills and headstones. Yesterday, however, my entire perspective on the human cost of the First World War changed. As I walked under the entrance archway of the Tyne Cot cemetery at Passchendale, I saw this:. Had fought and died in, I was, again, completely overwhelmed. How could these men endure? Another crater. What drove them to sacrifice so much? Signs posted in va...
